Cautions
•Handle the camera carefully
Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera could be
damaged by improper handing or storage.
•Do not disassemble the camera
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no
user serviceable parts inside. Ask a qualified service person for servicing.
•Do not block cooling holes on the bracket
This camera has a cooling fan inside. Blocking the cooling holes leads to
build up of heat the camera and may cause malfunction.
•Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity
or power source ratings
Use the camera under conditions where temperature is between 0°C ~
40°C (32°F ~ 104°F), and humidity is below 90%.
•Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, or try to operated it in
wet areas
This product is designed for indoor use or locations where it is protected
from rain and moisture. Turn the power off immediately if the camera is wet
and ask a qualified service person for servicing. Moisture can damage the
camera and also create the danger of electric shock.
•Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the camera
body
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when dirty. In case the dirt is hard to
remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently.
•Never face the camera towards the sun
Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether the camera is in use or
not, never aim it at the sun or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise, the
camera may be smeared or damaged.

1. Overview
The dome camera is a new subcompact integrated high speed dome camera
designed to deliver superb performance and durability with an intelligent and
stylish housing that is suitable in any security and surveillance installation. The
dome camera also supports one cabling for easy installation and can be
integrated with CCTV products, such as DVRs, Control Keyboards and CCTV
accessories for a total surveillance solution.
The Integrated High Speed Dome Camera provides five models of new
generation advanced DSP color camera:
U Model: 26× optical zoom multiply 12× digital magnifier
K Model: 23× optical zoom multiply 12× digital magnifier
R Model: 22× optical zoom multiply 12× digital magnifier
F Model: 18× optical zoom multiply 12× digital magnifier
E Model: 18× optical zoom multiply 12× digital magnifier
The dome delivers up to 312 x zoom ratio (U model) to capture clear image in
the distance. Continuous Auto Focus, Back Light Compensation, Auto
Exposure and Digital Slow Shutter functions are provided for clear and high
quality image. IR cut filter removable ensures 24 hours operation, while Privacy
Masks are specially designed to avoid any intrusive monitoring at specific
region; all of the salient functions can be incorporated to meet your needs. The
Home function allows users to specify a preset position as the ‘home position’ or
home functions (Sequence/Auto-pan/Cruise). Under the model, dome cameras
can come back to the preset home position or functions when the camera has
been idle for a user-defined period of time. Additionally, the unique Scheduling
function enables users to program a preset point or function
(Sequence/Auto-pan/Cruise) so that these actions can be automatically
performed in certain period of time.
The dome provides variable pan/tilt speeds ranging from a fast patrol of 400°
per second to a slow ramble of 5° per second with 0.225° pan accuracy for fast
and accurate tracking ability. The 360° endless rotation and -10°~190° tilt travel
make tracking the object passing directly beneath the dome. Maximum 256
preset points can be programmed for precise location of target areas, and users
can also define 8 sequence, 4 auto-pan and 1 cruise routes for the camera to
operate automatically. In addition, RS-485 communication port is available for
remote control purposes.

The Integrated High Speed Dome Camera provides 8 alarm inputs and 1 alarm
output, and the smart alarm management mechanism can be programmed
through the OSD setup menu; certain function (Preset /Sequence/ Auto-Pan/
Cruise) can be activated when an alarm is triggered.
Large set of built-in protocols provide connectivity to other surveillance systems.
The built-in protocols include DynaColor, Pelco, VCL, Philips, AD-422
(Manchester), etc, which allow the Integrated High Speed Dome Camera series
to be integrated with other suppliers' surveillance systems.
Dependability and ultra high reliability are key factors in the speed dome’s
design cycle. Every speed dome is assembled with meticulous care and
thorough testing at our ISO 9001 compliant factory. High performance, reliability
and reasonably pricing make this speed dome to be an ideal solution to users’
tough surveillance requirement.

1.2 Product Application
Connect the dome camera to other devices as shown in the diagram to
complete a video surveillance solution.
NOTE: To extend the network distance up to 1.2 km (4000 feet) and to
protect the connected devices, it is highly recommended to place a
repeater at the mid-point. However, a repeater may be needed in the network
distance less than 1.2 km if the used cables are not the CAT 5, 24-gauge cables
(see 2.8 RS-485 Connector Definition). Refer to the repeater’s manual for
detailed information.

RS-485 is the interface that communicates the dome camera and its control
device; for this reason, the RS-485 setup of the dome and the control device
must be the same. The RS-485 default setting is half-duplex (see the diagram
follows). Please do not change the default setting without qualified specialist or
supplier’s notice. As for the SW 3 and SW 4, they are used for termination and
Line Lock adjustment respectively. The SW 5 is mainly used when users want to
restore the camera to the factory default status; moreover, once firmware
upgrade is carried out, users also need to reset the SW 5 afterward.

Half-duplex
Full-duplex
2.4 Dome ID Setting
Use the switch to change your speed dome ID by turning the arrow to the
desired number respectively. For instance, if the dome ID is 123, the ID switch
should be set as below.
NOTE: No two domes should be given the same ID, or communication
conflict may occur.

RS-485 is the interface that communicates the dome camera and its control
device. Please connect the control keyboard to the speed dome through the
terminal block. The recommended cables for RS-485 communication are CAT 5
cables; maximum cable length for over 24-gauge wire is 4000 feet (1219
meters). If the total cable length exceeds 4000 feet, using a repeater to maintain
the signals is recommended. Please refer to the figure and table below for pin
defination and wiring.
